They’re Calling it the Storm of the Century

I’m not even sure how much snow we have, but we have a lot of snow. So far the power is on. But I don’t think the 100 lbs. of birdseed I bought in preparation for the snow is going to hold out long. The birds are arriving in droves.

See for yourself.

The birds are practically knocking on the back door asking for more bird seed.

Harry ventured out to do a bit of damage control to the chicken coop. The chickens are nestled inside where it is heated and I have given them treats of kale and dried corn on the cob.

At one point there were about 25 cardinals outside in addition to all the other birds.

wow i’m hoping our snow is over for this year, – but last yr 1st week of feb we had major (for UK) storm, so I feel for you, – keep baking, I love hearing you have the tins stocked. – That Cardinal is Red, – don’t have birds that colour here.

Here in North Central Washington we have weather like that too, but the last two years have bee a bit to mild, so there is always a threat of forest fires, we need what you are getting. Love to read your blog, and your stories about your chickens.

So over the snow I am. I think we’re getting more on Monday. Yes, I noticed the birds were simply crazy in our snow storm of the decade (at Christmas). Stay warm, Robin.

I get so many birds during the winter, and they are plentiful here, too. My goldfinches are just beginning to get their color. I think the bird you showed is a white throated sparrow;-) I’m somewhat bird obsessed. I could be wrong on the ID but I’m sure it’s not a goldfinch.

Thanks, Jan. I did some more looking, and you’re right, those are white throated sparrows. Thanks for the catch!
